Green Olive And Coriander Relish Recipes

CRACKED GREEN OLIVE, WALNUT AND POMEGRANATE RELISH

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir to mix well. The relish can be served the same day it is made. However, if covered and refrigerated for 1 to 2 days, it will mature and develop peak flavor. Bring to room temperature before serving.

GREEN OLIVE AND CORIANDER RELISH

Steps:

• In a food processor grind coarse the coriander seeds, add the olives, the vinegar, and the oil, and blend the mixture until the olives are chopped fine. Let the relish stand, covered and chilled, overnight. The relish may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the relish at room temperature with pita wedges.

GREEN BEANS WITH CORIANDER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cook the beans in the boiling salted water in a large covered saucepan over moderate heat 10 to 12 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, place the garlic and coriander in a large heatproof bowl. As soon as the beans are done, drain well, return to moderate heat, and shake the pan 30 to 40 seconds to take out all the excess moisture. Place the hot beans on top of the garlic and coriander and let stand 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss well to mix; cover and marinate in the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours, or better if overnight.
• About 45 minutes before serving, bring the beans from the refrigerator and let stand still covered, on the counter. Just before serving, add the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, and the pepper. Toss well, and add more vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, if needed. Serve as an accompaniment to pork, poultry, veal, or beef.

CORIANDER RELISH

Steps:

• Whizz all the ingredients, except the cashew nuts, in a blender with a generous splash of hot water. Once the chutney is smooth, drain the nuts and add to the chutney, then blitz again. Aim for a sweet-tangy flavour, adding more sugar or lime juice if needed. Transfer to a bowl and store in the fridge. Will keep, covered, in the fridge for one day.
